What We Think

Condition: Used, Good

This OOO-28EC is the kind of classic Martin top-shelf sophistication they're known for, and they pull out all the stops for this Clapton model. We love sitka/rosewood guitars for the tonal balance they provide: just the right amount of excitement from the rosewood and just the right amount of stability from the sitka. It's a tonal pallette you can throw literally anything muscially at and expect good results. The 24.9" scale length has always been a favorite of ours, the strings slink in a really comfortable way, making all those smooth licks Eric is known for that much easier for you to do. The finish on the top also gives the instrument a classic aged look and feel that is Martin vibe all the way.

Manufacturer's Description from Martin

We based this model on Eric Clapton’s guitar of choice for his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. Constructed from East Indian rosewood, the visually stunning 000-28EC produces a well-balance tone.

About Manufacturer

For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
